When I got out of the Corps, I was 6' and 165# of lean. When I met my wife 6 years later, I still had a 32" waist. Now it's a 40 and I'm near as makes no difference to two-fiddy. I held the line for may years at 225, but retiring from competitive shooting blew even that desperate line.
I'd love to see the slim side of 200 some day, but I'm too damned tired and busy to get there from here. I don't know if it's married life or just age, but the extra weight plain sucks!
When I graduated high school in 1964, I was 5' 8" and weighed 135 lbs. Went into Basic Training in January of 1966 and was told they would take weight off of me and have me in better shape than I ever was. I gained 10 lbs and was in worse shape based on the results of the three PT tests we took over the course of Basic. (They didn't know that I was bucking bales on the farm just prior to joining the Army.)
Hung onto the 145 lbs until sometime in the late '80's/early '90's and gained maybe 5 pounds. Along came April of 2003 and I quit smoking...
...now weigh about 227 lbs. Wife and I have both been trying to lose weight (I have lost 10 pounds), and she wants me down to about 190.
